They must have had it booby trapped.

[diamondjoe]

Oh, man. Wonder if they were killed in a battle for a weapons cache, or if the cache detonated? Seems like they would be battling a pretty serious enemy force to have 7 KIA.

[Dog]

Working around a weapons cache...could be an accident.

[gunnrmike]

Sounds like a booby trap to me. Rest in Peace brave Soldiers.

Damn - Either a booby trapped cache or just poor handling of unstable ammo. Either way, they should not have had 7 guys in the danger area.

The media got bored with Afghanistan long ago. They won't wring their hands much about these fatalities. Only the "death count" in Iraq matters to the media.

[Alamo-Girl]

How tragic! Thank God for all of these men who stand in harm's way for our sake. May He bless and comfort their loved ones.

[KQQL]

MAY THEY ALL REST IN PEACE

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers sent, amm.

[SAMWolf]

Bump.
